Not about any particular real life person, but a hodgepodge of experiences friends have had.
Thanks to some people on the Sunday Songwriters Group forum for suggestions on the lyrics.
Lyrics
verse:
In between jobs. No career.
I need a drink but I'm out of beer.
Lost my apartment. My future's unknown.
Don't call me homeless. I'm just in between homes.
chorus:
In between I'm being squeezed.
In between is no place to be.
verse:
Got kicked off my friend's couch when I caused a scene.
I'm in between normal and insanity.
I open my P.O. box with anxiety.
Looks like I'm headed for bankruptcy.
chorus
verse:
I don't know what I'm praying for.
Don't know if I believe anymore.
If I take a good look at myself.
I'm farther from Heaven than I am from Hell.
chorus
